The memoirs of two Renaissance men: Buoanccorso Pitti and Gregorio Dati. Highlight some of the lifestyles of the time.

Compared to his counterpart in the book, Pitti travels considerably more, spending more time outside of Florence as he travels to meet emperors, kings, and nobles. Pitti’s memoirs also…

The Middle Ages, the era between 500 and 1400 AD, may be viewed as a period of decline, warfare, religious commitment or as a time of noteworthy achievements. As a result, it has been given many labels which include, Dark Ages, Golden Age, Feudalism, and the Age of Faith.

Weber argued that the Reformation was part of some great process, where Protestantism rejected sacramental magic and instead brought about a rationalisation and intellectualisation of the world where incorporeal forces no longer existed in…

From Selfless Piety To The Sick And Needy Pilgrimages were important phenomena in European Christian culture during the Middle Ages. The early pilgrimages, such as Etheria’s pilgrimage to Jerusalem, differed from other types of travel and migration in where she went, the motivation to go, and the privileges she got. As pilgrimages evolved and became more widespread and local, they stayed similar in the type of destinations and dangers of the world, but the motivations behind changed. Pilgrims…
